Custom Parametric Insurance Software
With 12 years of experience in insurance software development, ScienceSoft applies AI, big data, IoT, and other advanced technology to build robust and accurate solutions for index-based insurance.
The Essence of Parametric Insurance Software
Parametric insurance software helps automate the index-based insurance model, where payouts are fixed against particular peril indices (parameters) and issued automatically upon predefined risk events, not the actual loss incurred.
Parametric insurance solutions often rely on cloud, AI, IoT, big data, and blockchain to eliminate manual workflows across data intake, premium calculation, risk prediction, and payments. Such software offers centralized storage for parametric insurance policies and provides vast self-service options to drive high client satisfaction and boost the insurance teams’ productivity.
- Necessary integrations for index-based insurance systems:
- Business software: CRM, accounting software, business intelligence systems.
- Payment gateways of banks and non-bank payment processors (e.g., PayPal, Stripe).
- Customer interaction channels: email services, messaging services, etc.
- Risk-relevant data sources: satellite imagery, radar, GPS tracking, stationery asset tracking, computer vision, financial data management, and other systems of the insurer, third-party agencies, public authorities, and corporate customers.
- Implementation time: 9–15+ months for a custom parametric insurance solution.
- Development costs: $200,000–$1,000,000+, depending on the solution’s complexity. Use our free calculator to estimate the cost for your case.
- Payback period: <12 months.
Why Build Custom Parametric Insurance Software
The global parametric insurance market is projected to reach $29.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.9%. Mature insurance carriers and insurtech startups widely adopt this model thanks to its simplicity, better risk predictability, and lower operational efforts. Still, there are few market-available software systems that can fully capitalize on its benefits.
If you want to seamlessly integrate the index-based model into your insurance portfolio, building a custom software module for it would be the most feasible option. Custom parametric insurance software offers maximal functional flexibility, meaning you can adapt it to your existing workflows, policies, and legacy systems. Custom solutions are also built to comply with all insurance regulations you are subject to — a common pain point for out-of-the-box software.
